I was seeing candlesticks in my dream…

This is how trading feels

@RyansTrading_ @trader_andre Tbh those accounts shine with the no profit target in funded and MLL doesn’t move when you take a payout. I haven’t used it yet but it seems easier to get to payout and easier to keep if you take small payouts early. Sounds worth to me

@trader_andre you paying double the price for the hope of a max payout, totally not worth it when you do ROI prop firm. but hey nobody’s stopping you. I just don’t recommend alpha anymore

Alpha Futures was a huge letdown with their new premium plan. Lucid and Topstep remain #1 and #2 for me! #3 firm soon? Maybe Blusky, Tradeify?

@jaycerifit Yea. It’s not the “ideal” sim farm method but if you ever want to trade personal it’s good training

@NQWizrd It’s so much better on the psyche and etches in good habits 🫡

It’s been a while so here’s an update: Just reached $2500 in payouts in 2.5 months from 1 $50k XFA. I’ve held this account for 6 months and took me 3 months to reach buffer & payout. My strategy isn’t to churn accounts. My goal has been to flip 1 $50k into $1M in prop funding. Currently up to $450k I plan to be active again so I will keep y’all updated 🫡

@jaycerifit This is so relatable lll

I keep falling into the same pattern: Get humbled -> Go dark from socials, work my ass off, tighten up on my discipline outside of the charts, focus on faith -> See winning streak, pass accounts, secure payouts -> Grow overconfident and return to X acting like I’ve made it -> Begin seeing what others are doing on X -> Become overly absorbed in trading X and begin comparing -> Become overly attached to my own X growth -> Create unnecessary added pressure to perform in public -> Begin expecting XYZ will happen if I keep up my winning steak i.e. quit my job, travel the world, pay off debt, etc. -> Lose what got me there in cutting out distractions, being humble, working hard, being disciplined outside of the charts, prioritizing faith, having little to no pressure on my short term trading results and expecting nothing -> Go on losing streak as a result -> Repeat. I think it’s best I become a silent but deadly market assassin. In fact, the more I talk to others the more I find the most successful traders are the smallest and quietest accounts. And therefore the contrary must be largely true (as we’ve seen with Brian Stonks) that the loudest are often the worst traders and straight liars and gamblers.

@PJTrades500 @Benjamin_SMC The 149 and 379 are swapped. The no activation account is 379, the activation fee on the other one is 149

@Benjamin_SMC I’m confused. So it’s $149 to pass it?

ok i’m ngl alpha futures is cooking with this one. these accounts are CRAZYYY. code BEN fellas

@rebeccaatrades @Tradeify 69 pts on gold is insane.

gold never fails me (jk it does but it is truly where i thrive) nice 69 point long on gold taken on personal and @Tradeify accounts

@DamnGoodTrading Wish they kept the 4% drawdown. Was something that made their standard plan stand out.

Alpha Futures just dropped a new Premium Plan and it's actually goated 🐙 → no consistency rule → no DLL → no news rules → 90% split → 5-day payouts → up to 5 accounts → up to $8K payouts 25% off with code DGT 🔒 bit.ly/AlphaFutures-D…

@Alpha_Futures_ RIP to the 4% drawdown 😭

@Alpha_Futures_ Make use of the 20% off or wait for the premium plan… 🤔

The standard is about to change 🚀 Our Premium Plan goes live tomorrow and its coming with a little surprise 👀 Stay Tuned!

Which firm has the best 150k account?

@TheQueenofKa @Topstep @TheFuturesDesk Did you reach out through the tfd discord?

Hey @Topstep @TheFuturesDesk . I was unable to trade, reset, cancel or renew my last account subscription for an old failed account. That being said I find it extremely strange you charged me a reset fee you told me was not possible and also left me no way to complain to anyone as TFD support is non existent and Windy sucks. Can you just send my money back since you made this little shenanigans impossible to rectify since before the merger. Thanks ka. I would appreciate this to be handled with TFD customer support urgency and not Topstep customer support urgency.

@MichaelPatak Solid reasoning I figured it was related to margin in some way. If I tanked an acc that low I’d be happy to just clear it out as a small payout.

Live accounts start w/ between $10k upto $30k real money - if the live trader loses all that money our risk team pulls them off the account if it goes below $1,000 remaining balance. We send the remaining balance as payout. This is to avoid the account going debit below $0.

@iamJMinx @Topstep I assume it means whatever amount you bring to live, if the balance falls to 1000 you lose the account. Not sure tho.

Apparently.@Topstep added $1k Maximum Loss Limit in a Live Funded Account for all account sizes. I’m genuinely trying to understand this: “Doesn’t trail” but includes unrealized P&L intraday Is this: A) Static drawdown B) Trailing drawdown C) Something in between

@T3metrics Whaaa. I thought that was your discord to begin with

Since Alex is a baby and banned me from the STAT Discord for some reason, come hang with the "funded-chat" crew over here. discord.gg/zXb3PzwreJ

@ErryRob @KCTrades777 Get better

@NQWizrd @KCTrades777 Because you’ve been trading for 4 days hence you don’t know what I’m talking about

What’s the point in buying $SPX 0DTE options anymore when you can trade $ES? $SPX 0DTE options are AMAZING for selling and collecting premium. But you can catch the same move and not worry about options Greeks by trading $ES futures.

@ErryRob @KCTrades777 My stop loss works just fine

@KCTrades777 Yea and you can get blown out by one trump tweet, moron. And don’t say stop loss because it won’t do anything for you on a liquidity pull or grab.

@LambManTrades @KCTrades777 Stop loss?

If you have the strategy / risk management and the capital options is better than Futures. A defined loss before entering the position is way better than an infinite loss with Futures and also too much capital needed to make significant gains. Prop firms are getting worse cause they keep moving the goal post on how a trader gets paid with lot of rules.

@TradersConf Spend it all on gas

Had my first seven figure trading day during the Iran war but can’t help feeling guilty about making so much off the war and not sure what I should do with the money.
